About 2048
2048 is a playable version of the classic sliding-tile puzzle. Use the arrow keys, WASD, swipe, or the on-screen buttons to slide all tiles in one direction. When two tiles with the same number touch they merge into one, doubling in value. Combine tiles to reach 2048 — then keep going to chase a higher score.
The game is completely free with no sign-up, no ads, and no limits. It runs entirely in your browser, so nothing you do is ever uploaded. Your best score is saved locally on your own device, and you can start a new game any time.
